Chapter 946 - Destined To Be Single!
A Stay-at-home Dad’s Restaurant In An Alternate World
âCritical hit!â
Constantine took two steps back and looked at Shirley with disbelief. His face, which was blushing originally, paled instantly. If the butler had not propped him up in time, he wouldnât even be able to stand properly.
Miss Shirley doesnât remember me at all? How could this be? Iâm thinking about her every single day. Canât she feel that at all? Is my overwhelming love for her all wasted? Constantine looked at Shirley with a wretched look as if he was a wronged child.
Shirley furrowed her brows. She really couldnât recall who this man, who seemed rather impotent, was.
âHa⦠So itâs actually one-sided love plus delusion.â
A young lady burst out laughing on the spot. People had thought it was a love tragedy initially, and then it suddenly had a twist, and became a comedy.
The customers, who were looking at them, smiled too. They didnât expect that this lady elf would bring them such amusement when she had only just joined the restaurant.
This had to be this yearâs most pathetic love declaration? There wasnât even a rejection. It was simply a case of mistaken identity.
Bro, hers could be bigger than yours if she decides to take it out. Mag looked at Constantine from the kitchen and sighed in his heart. He felt a little sorry for him.
âShirley is so popular. Someone declared his love for her on her first day at work,â Yabemiya said softly with a smile.
âThat Uncle is ugly,â Babla said with disgust after she looked at Constantine.
Shirley continued clearing the tables. She put the plates gently on the tray. She waved her hand across the table with a gentle move, and a green light flashed. A stream of clear water flowed over the table and chairs, making them as clean as new.
The butler held onto Constantineâs arm, and calmly said, âSober up, Master. Youâve got to maintain your dignity now.â
Some sparks returned to Constantineâs eyes gradually. He quickly put on a smile when he saw Shirley getting ready to leave with the tray. He said, âI was only joking earlier, Miss Shirley. You must have forgotten about me since we havenât seen each other for a long time. Thus, let me introduce myself again. I amââ
âIâm not interested.â Shirley turned around and went to the kitchen without even giving him a second look.
Constantine looked at Shirleyâs retreating back with a gaping mouth. His heart felt heavy.
âThis poor man. He actually looks alright.â
âIsnât he the famous swinging bachelor of our Chaos City, Constantine? Heâs filthy rich and owns dozens of jewellery shops. Heâs a famous Casanova who never had a failed conquest. I didnât expect him to meet his match here.â
âHe had to pay for his sins eventually. If those ladies he had led on all these years knew he had this coming, they would laugh their as*ses off.â
The customers discussed quietly as they looked at Constantine. Some of the customers who knew Constantine began to expose his past to satisfy othersâ curiosity for gossip.
âMaster, should we stay or go?â the butler asked softly as he looked at Constantine with a worried expression. Although he didnât have much hope for Constantine, he did watch him grow up, so he couldnât bear to see him wither away.
âWhy should I leave? I shall be wherever Miss Shirley is.â Constantine plonked his butt onto a chair at a side, then laid his head on the table, and looked toward the kitchen with a dazed look. He feebly said, âFurthermore, Iâm starving. Please give me a set of Yangzhou fried rice and a set of braised chicken and riceâ¦â
âYou finally decided to eat, Master?â The butler beamed, and promptly waved the service staff over to take his orders.
âA momentary defeat is fine. As long as I persevere, I believe Miss Shirley will be touched by my heartfelt sincerity eventually. I have decided that she is the one for me. If I canât marry her, Iâd rather be alone for the rest of my life,â Constantine said with a determined look.
âDestined to be single!â
Mag saw a line of colored words rising up from Constantineâs head.
âSystem, youâre a little naughty.â Mag raised his eyebrows and couldnât help laughing.
Yangzhou fried rice and braised chicken and rice were served swiftly. Constantine, who had not eaten for a few days, had a hearty appetite. He finished the fried rice and braised chicken and rice in no time. He looked fresh and no longer sickly.
âThe food cooked by Boss Mag is not only delicious, it also fills you with energy. Itâs marvellous.â Constantine marvelled. He looked at Mag in the kitchen, and said in his heart silently, He also helped me found Miss Shirley. Iâll definitely give him a big red packet after I win Miss Shirleyâs heart.
âCheck, please.â Constantine snapped his fingers.
Anna came over and looked at the plates in front of Constantine. After thinking for a moment, she said, âOne set of braised chicken and rice, one set of yangzhou fried rice, one set of savoury tofu pudding. The total is 16 gold coins.â
âThe remainder is the tip for you. Keep the change.â Constantine gave two dragon coins to Anna with a smile. He gave Shirley a look, and then walked to the door decisively.
The greatest error when it came to winning a girlâs heartâgrovelling.
That would only cheapen yourself and make the girl despise you. You wouldnât be able to get the girl like this, especially the beautiful ones.
As an experienced Casanova, Constantine began to go to his chase instincts after he calmed down. He already knew what to do to capture this rose with thorns.
A good gentlemanâs bearing with a wealthy facade. This was the technique he used that made him a perpetual success in winning the ladiesâ hearts all these years.
âButââ Anna held onto the two dragon coins. Before she could finish her sentence, Constantine had already gone out.
What a rude person. He wonât even finish listening to what Anna has to say. Shirley looked at the back that went out of the door with an annoyed gaze.
âWhatâs a tip, Big Sister Shirley? Why is he giving me a tip? What should I do with it?â Anna asked Shirley with a puzzled look.
âThat guy is probably too arrogant. You can ask Boss Mag how to handle this.â Shirley pointed toward the kitchen.
Anna jogged to the kitchen entrance, and asked Mag, âUncle Mag, that uncle spent 16 gold coins, and he left after giving me two dragon coins. He said the remainder is a tip for me. So, what should I do with it?â
âOh, a tip. This is a recognition from a customer that Anna has done a good job. Anna, you can keep this money,â Mag replied with a smile. Even though this was a first, Mag didnât want to put a stop to it. Tipping was common in overseas restaurants. This kind of recognition was akin to praise. It was a recognition of good service provided by the server.
